We model fluctuations in the Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB) arising from known galaxy populations using 233 measured UV, optical and NIR luminosity functions (LF) from a variety of surveys spanning a wide range of redshifts. We compare best-fit Schechter parameters across the literature and find clear indication of evolution with redshift. Providing fitting formulae for the multi-band evolution of the LFs out to z~5, we calculate the total emission redshifted into the near-IR bands in the observer frame and recover the observed optical and near-IR galaxy counts to a good accuracy. Our empirical approach, in conjunction with a halo model describing the clustering of galaxies, allows us to compute the fluctuations of the unresolved CIB and compare the models to current measurements. We find that fluctuations from known galaxy populations are unable to account for the large scale CIB clustering signal seen by Spitzer/IRAC and AKARI/IRC and continue to diverge out to larger angular scales. This holds true even if the LFs are extrapolated out to faint magnitudes with a steep faint-end slope all the way to z=8. We also show that removing resolved sources to progressively fainter magnitude limits, isolates CIB fluctuations to increasingly higher redshifts. Our empirical approach suggests that known galaxy populations are not responsible for the bulk of the fluctuation signal seen in the measurements and favors a very faint population of highly clustered sources.

Reconstructing galaxy fundamental distributions and scaling relations from photometric redshift surveys. Applications to the SDSS early-type sample
与光度红移而不是光谱红移相关的噪声距离估计导致对光度的错误估计，并产生相关的对大小的错误估计。我们考虑一个来自SDSS DR 6的早期星系样本，它的光谱和光度信息都是可用的，并应用V_max方法的推广来校正这些偏差。我们表明，我们的技术恢复真正的红移，幅度和大小分布，以及真正的大小-光度关系。我们发现，仅使用10%的光谱信息随机分布在我们的目录是足够的重建是准确的约3%，当光度红移误差为dz = 0.038。然后，我们解决的问题，我们的方法扩展到深红移目录，只有光度信息。除了这里概述的具体应用外，当至少涉及一个距离依赖量时，我们的技术会影响更广泛的研究。这对下一代的调查特别重要，其中一些调查只有光度信息。
